About
Remember the three Es.
1. Experience, we have been teaching and DMV licensed since 1980
2. Experience, real teaching that makes you an experienced better driver.
3. Experience, passed on to you for a GREAT EXPERIENCE.
Established in 1980, few schools have that experience. The owner is the longest serving President of the entire Driving School Association of California and is one of the oldest members of the Association. We maintain a safe fleet of cars. Our drive test passing rate is by far one of the highest in the industry for first time tests. The owner was also a DMV certified examiner and really knows how the drive test works. Our instructors for the most part have years of experience collectively over 100 years. If you want to learn how to drive safely for the rest of your life you have come to the right school, and we look forward to making you great Drivers.
The fact of knowing we have contributed significantly to making our roads and drivers safer and saved countless lives in the process is our greatest reward. Bringing peace of mind to parents and students a like is a pure delight.

Luis at Dollar Driving School was wonderful. My senior citizen mother in law kept failing her driving test and was on the verge of losing her license. She had a few lessons with Luis and passed with flying colors. We are so grateful.

I had a really great experience with this driving school, especially with my instructor Ray. He was absolutely awesome, patient, clear, and really took the time to make sure I understood everything. Because of his teaching, I was able to pass my driving test on the first try, which says a lot.
The only downside I would mention is that the pricing is a bit higher compared to other schools. However, I genuinely feel like it was worth it. I gained so much confidence behind the wheel and actually feel comfortable driving now, which I didn’t before.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this school, and if you’re thinking about booking, I highly suggest asking for Ray.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our fees vary from entry level instructors all the way to the owner. They are based on experience and proven and verifiable results of the track record of the instructor. There are hourly rates up to 18 hour package rates.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Each instructor requires personalized training and attention. Even if the objective is the same making a great driver, how you approach it varies from student to student. There are typical groups teens adults seniors and fleet training. However inside each group are all kinds of different human beings with different needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a college graduate and most of our instructors have generally at least 20years of driving experience. We do not hire novice drivers in this school.
